Prequels are big business. Think of Clone Wars, Enterprise, Smallville, and Caprica. Let's do a prequel.
What should we do a prequel of?
How about the Andy Griffith Show? It will start out with Andy and Barney as boys and show how they eventually become sheriff and deputy.
Will it be a comedy like the original?
No, it will tell the tragic backstory of growing up during the depression, fighting in World War II, and the heart-wrenching loss of Andy's wife.
Let him get in a love triangle with a young Lucy Ricardo, and we'll have outselves a winner.
